Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the first shell 31 is a long rectangular outer cover, providing a panel structure for used for operation and use. The material of the first shell 31 may be selected from ABS plastic, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), super-elastic polycarbonate (SEPC), glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) or magnesium alloy. The foregoing structures and materials are only examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The first shell 31 covers the first surface 10 a of the substrate 10.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, in this embodiment, the first shell 31 and the substrate 10 are fixed by using a fastener 13, and the first shell 31 and the substrate 10 cover the first protection area 40 and are assembled into a semi-finished product. In addition, the first shell 31 is disposed with a display area and a plurality of key slot holes. In this embodiment, the first shell 31 has a plurality of catching grooves 311 located around the key slot holes. In this way, the structure of the first shell 31 has elements of the catching grooves 311 for a side plate 62 of the wire mesh 61 to be inserted and fixed, that is, the wire mesh 61 covers the first surface 10 a of the substrate 10, and the wire mesh 61 surpasses the substrate 10 to surround the mesh board 42, the dividing sheet 90, and a side end of the key switch component for protection.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 4, and 5, the first protection area 40 is located between the first surface 10 a of the substrate 10 and the first shell 31. Herein, the first protection area 40 is formed between the operation board 41 and the substrate 10, and the mesh board 42 is provided between the operation board 41 and the substrate protection area 11. The operation board 41 is disposed at the first shell 31, a surface of the operation board 41 faces the substrate protection area 11, and the other surface of the operation board 41 has a plurality of numeric keys 413 for providing a user with a function of pressing the keys 413 to input a password.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5, in this embodiment, the operation board 41 may be a keyboard body, and the operation board 41 is formed by the first switch element 411, the second switch element 412, and the key 413. A disposing position of the first switch element 411 corresponds to a disposing position (that is, located at four endpoints of the operation board 41) of the first contact point 111 of the substrate 10. The second switch element 412 is located between the upper and lower first switch elements 411, and a disposing position of the second switch element 412 corresponds to a disposing position (that is, located at an approximately central position of the operation board 41) of the third contact point 113 of the substrate 10.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5, in this embodiment, the first switch element 411 and the second switch element 412 are conductive rubber. However, in some embodiments, the first switch element 411 and the second switch element 412 may be conductive tape. When the first switch element 411 and the second switch element 412 are projected at a same horizontal section, the length of the first switch element 411 is greater than that of the second switch element 412, that is, the length that the first switch element 411 extends towards the substrate 10 is greater than the length that the second switch element 412 extends towards the substrate 10 (as shown in FIG. 5). Because of the effect of an extension structure of the first switch element 411, the first switch element 411 may pass through the mesh board 42, the dividing sheet 90, and a hole of the key switch component 21 to be connected to the first contact point 111 of the substrate 10, and the second switch element 412 only needs to have a length structure of the detection contact 425 abutting the first surface 42 a of the mesh board 42.

Referring to FIGS. 2, 5, 9H, and 9I, the first switch element 411 abuts the first contact point 111, and when the first switch element 411 is not in contact with the first contact point 111, a loop protection program is started. When the first switch element 411 is connected to the first induction point 111 a and the second induction point 111 b, a signal loop is closed and is in a conducted state. When the third induction point 111 c is connected to the first induction point 111 a or the second induction point 111 b in a conduction manner, a microprocessor is driven to stop running and information in a memory is cleared. In addition, the second switch element 412 is a detection contact 425 in contact with the mesh board 42, and when the second switch element 412 is not in contact with the mesh board 42, the loop protection program is started.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5, the mesh board 42 is formed by a multilayer circuit board, which is a rigid PCB board, has effects of warp resistance and protection, and includes a plurality of winding loops connected serially, providing an effect of a secure line. That is, in this embodiment, the mesh board 42 has an electrical mesh layer 424 located at a surface of the mesh board 42. The mesh board 42 has a first surface 42 a and second surface 42 b opposite each other, the first surface 42 a faces the operation board 41, and the second surface 42 b faces the substrate 10. The mesh board 42 has a plurality of first perforations 421 and second perforations 422 in different sizes, the first perforation 421 correspondingly passes through the other end (that is, a bump 413 a) of the key 413, and the second perforation 422 correspondingly passes through the first switch element 411, that is, the bump 413 a of the other end of the key 413 is connected to the second contact point 112, and the first switch element 411 is connected to the first contact point 111.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5, an aperture diameter D2 of the first perforation 421 conforms to an external diameter of the bump 413 a stretching behind the key 413, so that the bump 413 a passes through the first perforation 421, so as to prevent the bump 413 a from being extracted by a hacker. The aperture diameter D2 of the first perforation 421 is less than an external diameter of the spring 211 of the key switch component 21. An aperture diameter D1 of the second perforation 422 only allows the first switch element 411 to pass through, but the first induction point 111 a and the second induction point 111 b of the first contact point 111 cannot be exposed at the same time, so as to prevent lapping (also referring to FIG. 9H).

Referring to FIGS. 9H and 9I, when the second switch element 412 is connected to the first contact 425 a and the second contact 425 b, a signal loop is in a conduction state, and if any loop is an open circuit, the microprocessor is driven to stop running and information in the memory is cleared. In this embodiment, when the third contact 425 c is connected to the first contact 425 a or the second contact 425 b in a conduction manner, the microprocessor is driven to stop running and information in the memory is cleared.

In addition, the first contact 425 a and the second contact 425 b form two independent loops A and B (a positive signal and a negative signal), and the third contact 425 c forms a ground loop C (a ground signal). In this embodiment, when the detection contact 425 is applied with conductive materials (for example, conductive liquid) and is lapped, the third contact 425 c is short-circuited with loops of the first contact 425 a and the second contact 425 b, so that the microprocessor stops running.

Referring to FIGS. 2, 5, 9A, and 9B, the mesh board 42 is located between the operation board 41 and the substrate protection area 11. In addition, a disposing position of the contact portion 423 of the mesh board 42 corresponds to a disposing position of the third contact point 113 of the substrate protection area 11. In this embodiment, the conduction element 70 enables vertical conduction between the third contact point 113 and the contact portion 423, and when the conduction element 70 fails conduction between the third contact point 113 and the contact portion 423, the loop protection program is started. The mesh board 42 is in contact with the substrate protection area 11, and when the mesh board 42 is not in contact with the substrate protection area 11, the signal loop of the loop protection program is driven to be broken. The detection contact 425 is protected by the second switch element 412, and a rear (that is, facing the first surface 10 a of the substrate 11) signal through hole of the contact portion 423 is also protected, so as to prevent lapping attack from a front side (that is, facing a rear side of the operation board 41).

Referring to FIGS. 9A and 9B, in this embodiment, the third contact point 113 includes a first connection point 113 a, a second connection point 113 b, a third connection point 113 c, and a first ground connection point 113 d, which respectively correspond to a fourth connection point 423 a, a fifth connection point 423 b, a sixth connection point 423 c, and a second ground connection point 423 d of the contact portion 423. When the conduction element 70 is connected to the first connection point 113 a and the fourth connection point 423 a, the second connection point 113 b and the fifth connection point 423 b, and the third connection point 113 c and the sixth connection point 423 c, signal loops are in a conduction state, and if any loop is an open circuit, or contacts between any two loops are short-circuited, the microprocessor is driven to stop running and information in the memory is cleared.

Referring to FIGS. 9A, 9B, and 9E, FIG. 9E indicates corresponding positions after the contact portion 423, the third contact point 113, and the detection contact 425 are vertically projected. In this embodiment, the third contact point 113 is electrically connected to the first contact 425 a and the second contact 425 b of the detection contact 425, where a first conductive hole 426 a and a second conductive hole 426 b of the contact through hole 426 are connected. Herein, when any two loops of the first connection point 113 a and the first contact 425 a, the second connection point 113 b and the second contact 425 b, and the third connection point 113 c and the third contact 425 c are short-circuited, the microprocessor is driven to stop running and information in the memory is cleared.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 3, 4, and 6, the second shell 32 is a long rectangular outer cover, which confirms to the first shell 31 in length and width and is combined with the first shell 31. In this embodiment, the first shell 31 includes a washer 33, located at the periphery of the second shell 32 and the first shell 31, and the washer 33 is positioned at the periphery aligned with the substrate 10, so as to provide an effect of preventing adhesive overflowing. Herein, the second shell 32 is located at the second surface 10 b of the substrate 10 and is combined with the first shell 31, the second shell 32 is formed by the groove 321 and the feed inlet 322 that are connected, the groove 321 corresponds to the electronic element area 12, and the feed inlet 322 corresponds to an outer side of the electronic element area 12 (that is, an outer side of the wire mesh 61 of the second protection area 60).

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 6, the second protection area 60 is located at the groove 321 of the second shell 32, that is, the second protection area 60 is located between the substrate 10 and the second shell 32. In this embodiment, the second protection area 60 includes a wire mesh 61, where the wire mesh 61 is formed by a flexible circuit board, which includes a plurality of winding loops connected serially, providing an effect of a secure line. The wire mesh 61 surrounds the electronic element area 12 and is electrically connected to the substrate 10. The wire mesh 61 includes a feeding hole 611 and a connection port 612, where the feeding hole 611 corresponds to a part of the feed inlet 322, and therefore, an adhesive may be filled inside the feeding hole 611 (that is, the inside of the wire mesh 61 and the electronic element) from the feed inlet 322, and filled between the wire mesh 61 and the second shell 32, so as to be fixedly adhering the wire mesh 61, an electronic element on the second surface 10 b of the substrate 11, the first shell 31, and the second shell 32.
